he will receive an easy reckoning which simply entails the presentation of his deeds to him as in the hadīth of the two Sahīhs of Bukhārī and Muslim — in which there is also a hadīth saying ‘He who is reckoned with at length will be destined for perdition’ — and after this presentation of his deeds to the believer he will be excused

He who is taken to account on the Day of Resurrection is in fact put to torment. I said: Has Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, not said this: 'He will be made subject to an easy reckoning" (Ixxxiv. 8)? Thereupon he said: (What it implies) is not the actual reckoning, but only the presentation of one's deeds to Him. He who is thoroughly examined in reckoning is put to torment.

Sahih al-Bukhari #6297Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika:Sahih

`Aisha said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Anybody whose account (record) is questioned will surely be punished.' I said, 'Doesn't Allah say: 'He surely will receive an easy reckoning?' (84.8) The Prophet (ﷺ) replied. 'This means only the presentation of the account."' Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet (ﷺ) said (as above, 543).
